# Callout

The Callout component is a contextual overlay that guides users through tasks, highlights features, or delivers important information. Callouts help users navigate complex flows by offering step-by-step cues or informative prompts in a visually distinct yet non-intrusive manner.

## Property Configuration Table

Each design component offers a range of configurable options. These options are intentionally platform-agnostic, allowing implementations to adapt and tailor them to align with the specific requirements of the chosen framework.

## Usage Guide

***

| <div><figure><img src="/files/5tAdt8C78CNYaANNscEz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div> | <p><strong>Use for exclusive choices</strong></p><p>Use callouts to highlight new features, changes, or temporary announcements that require immediate user attention. This helps users stay informed about important updates while maintaining their current workflow.</p><p>Don't use callouts for permanent content that is part of the regular interface, as this reduces the impact of truly important announcements and creates unnecessary visual noise.</p> |
